Route 5 & 20 School Zone

Waterloo, New YorkNov 09, 20020 Comments

We know we should be extra cautious in a school zone, but this 15 mph stretch is absolutely unreal! The 15 mph flashers go on at 6AM and don’t go off until 6PM. School is out by 3:00, by the way. Those last 3 hours are small town cop heaven. 5 & 20 is a four lane highway going through there, yet they insist on the 15 mph. During the morning school arrival time (aka RUSH HOUR!) they will post a police car in the left lane of traffic creeping along next to a school bus in the right lane of traffic with a line of cars literally a mile long behind them. (People trying to get to work, you know?) As soon as they break from the 15 zone, these people are so stressed and frantic to get to work they often shoot past the bus, exceeding the limit and cops pop out of the sideroads to write them up. NICE LITTLE SCAM. Meanwhile, the drug dealers are all over the school grounds, but those honest folks just trying to go to their legal jobs have all the cops tied up writing tickets! Seems backwards…
